Hitler’s Death

In The Death of Hitler, author and expert Luke Daly-Groves rigorously looks at the question:Did Hitler shoot himself in the Führerbunker or did he slip past the Soviets and escape to South America? Countless documentaries, newspaper articles, and internet pages written by conspiracy theorists have lead the ongoing debate surrounding Hitler's last days. Historians have not yet managed to make a serious response. Until now.

This book is the first attempt by an academic to return to the evidence of Hitler's suicide in order to scrutinise the arguments of conspiracy theorists using scientific methods. Through analysis of recently declassified MI5 files, previously unpublished sketches of Hitler's bunker, personal accounts of intelligence officers along with stories of shoot-outs, plunder and secret agents, this rigorously researched book takes on the doubters to tell the full story of how Hitler died.

Conspiracy theorists are plentiful.  The conspiracies regarding Hitler, even after so many years, are still very active.  These conspiracies are more damaging than those of the flat earth society.  The flat-earthers do not support the growth of evil.  Hitler conspiracies aid the growth of evil.

Daly-Groves has written an excellent book covering the historical evidence in a deeper and academically satisfying manner regarding the time and method of Hitler's death.  He provides previously unavailable documentation the completely closes the question of Hitler's possible survival and the cowardice of his death.

My only problem with Daly-Groves's book is in the first two chapters.  These are obviously from one of his thesis papers.  The writing is stale and uninvolving.  The rigor of the research is very clear in these chapters, but they read very much like a dissertation, not a popular history text.
